Ever asked yourself these questions? I have. And I still do! Getting my own images sharp is and always will be a challenge. It is a neverending, almost Sisyphus-like struggle between a man and his tool. Sharpness in your photography is one of the factors that will decide whether it’s going to be a hero or zero.

I know what you’re thinking – travel photography is not all about the gear. There are other ways of improving it without another piece of shiny new photography gear.

This post is all about the southest region of Patagonia – Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, please go and check out my previous article (Patagonia on your own) describing the trip as a whole including many tips for planning the trip! (more…)

They say for a good reason that photography is a joint of art and science. This article will give you a brief introduction into the geeky part of photography and help you step up your skills a fair bit. Maybe even stop using the Automatic mode on your camera. Shutter speed?
